²⁵ Three times each year Solomon offered whole burnt offerings and ·fellowship [or peace; well-being] offerings [Lev. 3:1] on the altar he had built for the Lord. He also burned incense before the Lord. So he finished the ·work on the Temple [^Lhouse].

²⁶ King Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber, a town near Elath on the shore of the ·Red Sea [or Sea of Reeds; Ex. 10:19], in the land of Edom. ²⁷ Hiram sent ·skilled sailors [^Lseamen who knew the sea] to serve in these ships with Solomon’s ·men [servants].
